Hi everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am
sharing some more inspiration with their fabulous new release of Vintage Dies,
gosh I'm loving this new collection so much. My card today would also look great as a scrapbook layout and could easily be made more feminine in design by
changing the colours and adding a few flowers.

I started by adding some film strips to my cardstock,
distressing the card at the edges and adding some Distress ink. I positioned my
film strip die on my photos and cut them, this way they were the perfect size
to insert into the film strip.

I matted and layered my centre dies, cutting one out in
the dark red to make my Design 'pop', adding a stamped sentiment and foam
strips between my layers for added dimension.

My Vintage Camera was highlighted with a silver pen on
the embossed areas, I also added a touch of Gilding wax onto the concertina
area to look like old leather. I layered up the front and back areas 3 times to
give added dimension, paper piecing these bits together in a similar way I built my
Gramophone which you can see HERE.

Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope you feel
inspired by my card.

Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by today to see my DT post
for Craft Consortium using the gorgeous floral pad called Wild Rose. I love
this pad and its versatility for many style of cards and today I have made a
baby card which could easily double up for a young girl that loves her dolls by
changing the sentiment.

My layers were tattered with my scissors and some foam
tape added in between for extra dimension. I also added some Crystal Stickles
Glue around the edges and onto my die cuts.

My pram was layered with two of the papers from the pad
adding on some die cut flowers, lace and a pretty Floral Embellishment.

My doll stamp was fussy cut, layering her dress up with
coordinating papers from the Wild Rose pad and a touch of lace.

Hi everyone, today I am sharing another DT post for
Cherish The Memory using their amazing new collection called Summer Feelings.
The collection is absolutely stunning and also has some lovely Dies to
compliment the papers.

I started by using a wooden plaque I bought from a
Bargain store and added a strip of pearls around the outside layering on a
tattered piece of cardstock from the collection. I also added Glossy Accents,
Glass Glitter and small Art Stones for a beach feel.

I stamped my sentiment onto paper from the coordinating
6x6 pad add lots of details to make it look like a shabby beach feel. I had
collected sand and some shells from the beach when we were on our honeymoon many years ago and I thought this was a perfect time to use some of them.

The dreamcatcher I adore, I offset my feathers with an
extra layer adding some feathers I pulled out of a cushion to give another
texture. I added touches of glitter lots of pearls and a resin flower from
Craft Consortium.

I hope you like my post and feel inspired to do a beach
themed project.

Hello, thanks for stopping by to see my DT post with
Cherish The Memory. My card today I have used a lot of the die cut flowers from my
Romantic Vintage Diecut book to make this Floral bouquet on my card.

My base layers have been tattered at the edges adding a
little crinkle detail into one of the corners.

My flowers and leaves have been all arranged on top of my
Doily with some Silicone Glue. I added a pretty lace bow, a Pearl Embellishment
and a couple of tags from the same pad.

I finished my card with some shabby thread and a couple
of pretty butterflies with bling in their centres.

Today at Cheery Lynn Designs is Blog Hop day and what an outstanding release of stunning Vintage Dies this is. You are going to want them all !I squealed with excitement when I saw the Gramophone ( Phonograph Die ),
it reminds me of the Gramophone that sits in my dolls house. So let me show you
how I built this Die up.

I started by cutting out my Die twice in Kraft Card, once
in Miri card and once in Black card. I then trimmed all the sections I wanted
in each colour and kept one complete section to glue all my parts onto.

I coloured my Kraft Card with a dark red and dark brown
pen to give the look of mahogany wood, gluing all the sections together. Doing this helps to give added dimension to your die cut.

I also
added a little gloss varnish onto my record and cut out the middle section with
an old book page.

Finishing with touches of Stazon Rusty Brown Ink at the edges
of Miri Card to age it slightly.

Hi Everyone, today for my DT card at Cheery Lynn Designs I am sharing a card with the elegant Die Cut sentiment Faith, Hope, Love
which could be used on a variety of cards or alternatively on a Scrapbook
Layout possibly with Wedding photographs.

I started by cutting out my Pierced Stacker Dies in
Square and a Circle and embossed the edges with Silver Embossing powder, using
Maja Design papers.

I matted and layered my centrepiece with foam tape
between the layers to add dimension to my card and added a contrasting blue
square of Cardstock behind my Doily to help it 'pop' gluing my sentiment onto
the circle.

Using my Flourish #3 Die I cut this out in 2 shades of
green card and arranged elements of this Die onto my card.

Hi everyone, today I am sharing some inspiration using
the stunning paper pad call Tell the Bees for my DT post with Craft Consortium.
This pad is filled with beautiful papers with Floral and Bee designs and is
apt for many celebration cards or scrapbook layouts.

My card today showcases the soft gold designed paper
which I thought was perfect for a Wedding or Anniversary card.

I used 3 layers on my card which have been tattered at the
edges with my scissors and some distressed stitching addedaround the edges
for added detail. I layered up with foam strips for extra dimension.

My diecut frame was heat embossed with a Cream Embossing
Powder and whilst still hot I added a sprinkle of Gold Powder on to it. Adding my
vintage image and lots of bling.

Craft Consortium have a range of beautiful vintage
embellishments and laces in their Always and Forever collection, perfect for
finishing off my card as if a piece of lace from the Bride's dress has been used.

Hi everyone, today I am sharing a masculine styled card with
you all for my DT post with Cherish The Memory.

I started by cutting a sheet of my 6x6 paper pad into one
inch strips. I tattered at the edges with my scissors and then rubbed my clear
Versamark Ink down the edges, heat setting Copper Embossing Powder. Next I
sprinkled onto the paper a Verdigris Embossing Powder and heat set.

I then added my Cheery Lynn die - Border #15 which had also been Heat
set with Embossing powders to give a rusty look.

I made a collage using my papers from my Vintage pack,
diecut sheets and inserting a couple of metal cogs for extra texture.

My papers used on this card are from Lemoncraft. I
started by cutting out my Stacker Layers, sprinkling some copper embossing
powder onto my paper and heat setting for a shabby feel. I tattered and inked
my faux stitched layers, layering onto my card with my beautiful die cut Doily
as an accent in the background.
